I Should Be Folding Laundry

Randomly

I asked my Be Design partner, Christy, to create my header for me.  Which may seem strange considering I can make my own, except for some reason, I couldn't do my own.  It was too hard, so I quit and said "Oh, Christy, my love, would you please create my header for me and when you do, just do it in a way that shows me how you think of me."  and this is one of the images she chose.  Which I love.  I have to say that I was relieved, I thought she may come back with a header filled with cattle or dirty underwear.  But this is what she found and I love it.

A lot.  (you should go to Christy's blog to check out her designs from our first week of business.  THEY ARE ROCKIN'!) 

and speaking of the fabulous Be Design girls, we are now offering blog makeovers for WORDPRESS.  HOORAY!  However, our wait time is right on the line between four and five weeks.  BOO!  But we move quickly!  HOORAY! 

I'm glad some of you enjoyed my live blogging from last night, I may do it for tonight's finale, as requested, but right now I have a headache and fear it would make a very boring post.  Something like "Paula's dress is weird and David won."   

Based on the comments, I think David Cook is going to win.  Seems everyone thinks David A. has it in the bag and because of that, everyone seems to be voting for David C.  I didn't vote at all.  Because, well.  I don't care.  I really don't.  I enjoyed this season, but there was nobody that I LOOOOVED.  I tried voting for Chris Daughtry but his wife kept hanging up on me every time I called.  She can be so rude to his girlfriend, I swear.

Oh, and I blogged over here today.  It's pretty depressing, so click at your own risk, and if you click, make sure you comment because nothing sends me into a depression quicker than seeing hundreds of people visiting my other blog when I'm pouring out my heart and three people comment.  Just keepin' it real.

And finally, I believe I have eaten two boxes of Bug Bites since Sunday.  And I can't even hide that fact from Brian because he's the one who keeps buying them at the store.  Makes it pretty obvious.

In fact, he's at the store right now.  Buying more Bug Bites.  Interestingly enough, when I googled Bug Bites, the cookies did not come up, but rather pictures of bug bites.  ew.

Me and my headache have to go hide under the covers for awhile, I hope I'm back tonight for more live blogging.  I can make no promises.

Shabby Apple Giveaway

I am so excited about this giveaway, mainly because I get to give something away to one of my readers and I happen to love and adore my readers, so it's EXTRA fun for me to have a giveaway.

Especially this giveaway.

I am giving away a $50 gift certificate to Shabby Apple.  If you haven't seen their product line, you must go check it out.  Everything is so very trendy, yet simple.  I love it all.  So, when they approached me and I visited their site, I couldn't refuse.  Just look at their stuff!

I am already jealous of the person who wins this giveaway - between the bags and the bracelets and the dresses - I could spend the entire day on their website.  Seriously, any business that says "Rock Your Frock" has my approval.  LOVE IT.

So, here's how you win:
On this post and THIS POST only, tell me something about you in the comments.  You must tell me something about you, it could be that you've never traveled outside of your state or that you love grape jelly (which I think is gross, by the way) but you must tell me something.  Saying "enter me" will only disqualify you.  Sorry - I know the rules are tough, but I want to learn more about you and this is how I can!

I look forward to learning more about you.  Feel free to tell me as much as you want.  I'm listening.

The comments will be closed Wednesday night at 7:00 P.M. CST and I will draw the winner from the entire lot of comments.   I will announce the winner of this contest and the American Idol blog makeover contest on Thursday.

Good luck.

(yes, I know I've asked you to tell me something about you before, but it was so much fun, I wanted to do it again to learn more.  Tell me something new.  I tell you something new all of the time!  It's your turn, baby.)

Just a little PG-13 for you.

So, let's just say today was a good day and call it a day, shall we?  Because tonight, after dinner, everything started to suck.  I don't know why, I don't care why, it just did.    This morning was great, amazing, beautiful and fantastic, I mean, it included a clean house, Target and Barnes and Noble, how could it not be fantastic? 

But tonight after dinner, boy oh boy, I was SUCKER PUNCHED in the gut.  And let me tell you, I wanted to use the "F" word before the word gut in that last sentence and all night long for that matter, but I didn't because I know not everyone appreciates unsavory language.  But sometimes it feels so fucking good to swear.

I'm not saying, I'm just sayin'.  (that's what my Mom always says.) And I know you agree.  Well, I know MOST of you agree.  I am just so frustrated, I just want a break, I want peace, I want off of this roller coaster.  I.want.off.

So, I'm going to say good night and try to close this computer of mine because I am BURNED out and to be honest, I can't help but think I am burning you out talking about all of my grief and my sadness and bullshit ALL OF THE TIME

So, putting all that aside, (whew, I feel a teeny tiny bit better now), I wanted to show you the blogs that I redesigned this week, the best part of doing blog designs is working with awesome, fun, friendly bloggers.

You can check out my work but also check these fine bloggers out - who doesn't love a new blog to read, right?

(sorry I swore, Mom.  I couldn't help it. It was an accident.)

By the way, the original title of this post was "Just a little PG-13 for your ass" but Brian thought it was a little too....racy.  So, I deleted it.  Did I make the right choice?  You tell me.

Do people get offended when swearing occurs in a blog?  It's an interesting topic.  I don't mind it, (obviously) I mean, everyone is entitled to write what they want on their own blogs, but do you get offended?

Okay, for real, good night, sleep tight and don't forget about the contest tomorrow.

And I promise, it won't involve much swearing.

It's called "Variety", my dear.

Racecar has taken to calling me, my dear.  "Thank you, my dear.  Sleep good, my dear.  Bless you, my dear."

I love it so much, I can hardly take it.  That is just one of the sweet things going on in my life right now.

Be Design appears to be a success.  Thank you to so many of you who promoted Be Design on your blogs, no wonder I see you all as my friends.  We have a waiting list and are constantly adding designs to our portfolio, so feel free to head back and take a peek, whenever you'd like.  Despite our waiting list, we are still accepting new clients - the 50% off discount expires tomorrow.  The sooner you get on the list, the sooner your blog gets a makeover.  We love making blogs lovely.

I'm just going to send you to a few other places and come back tonight to answer the remaining questions you have asked me.  At least that's my plan.  Maybe I'll come back tonight and write about my new laptop or Teddy Grahams or admit to the masses that the clicking on the guitar in Guitar Hero drives me batty and makes me want to flush it down the toilet.  One can never tell what the day holds.

I hope it's good stuff. 

Here's some good stuff for you...I blogged over here today.

And Lisa is having a Starbucks giveaway, all you have to do is check out her new header and tell her what you think and you are entered.  EASY.

And how much do you want to bet that one of the Davids will be voted off today?

This may be the most scattered post I have ever written.  I do apologize.  But I'll see you tonight.  With more order.

Maybe.

Exciting & stylish

My friends, I have to share my exciting news with you.  I don't know how I have kept it a secret.  But I have and now I can let the cat out of the bag.

My dear friend, Christy and I have started a new business.

We have been working ridiculous hours, barely leaving enough time for ice cream, (don't worry, I still managed) we've made decisions, we've changed our minds, we've lost sleep, and we are SO happy.

Friends.

Meet Be Design.

Our new blog design business.

I do hope you check out our beautiful and amazing website, we are both so excited to be doing something that we both love so much.   This adventure, I know, is meant to BE.  Since Christy and I decided to start Be Design I have been wonderfully distracted, excited and well, happy.  It's been a very welcomed project in my life.  A beautiful gift.

So, check it out.  And feel free to tell your friends about it.  We would be forever grateful.  (feel free to use the code at the bottom of this post or just straight up steal that button over there!  No really!  Steal it!  I won't tell!)  Go there, come back and tell me what you think.  You're my friends and your opinion matters to me.  If you do tell your blog readers about it, come back and tell me, I want to see it!  And your readers will be in debt to you - because who doesn't love a savings?

A savings?  oh yeah -- BIG SAVINGS.
